To think no one actually likes cheese and onion crisps

I'll eat them when they are in multipacks and the kids have had all the salt and vinegar and I appreciate their savouriness and crunchiness, but I don't actually like the taste very much. Go on prove me wrong, crisp weirdos.
Yes=cheese and NO ion
No=PLEASE and onion
Ps does my post count as the first yanbu vote?

Cheese &Onion are my favourite - but then I love Hawaiian pizza and marmite on toast !

For balance I liked salt & vinegar as a child butt hate the taste now.

Absolutely love cheese and onion, along with ready salted! Bit annoying that they get combined with S&V, which are just vile.

PorridgeShotgun · 18/03/2020 20:28

Squares Cheese and onion flavour all day long. Shame about the smell though.

NotTheMrMenAgain · 18/03/2020 20:28

My DM is the only person I know who likes them. For most of my life she only ate ready salted and then suddenly a few years ago - bam! - she switched to cheese and onion. I was Shock. I reckon it's cos she's old and her taste buds are dying off!

YABVU! I love cheese 'n onion crisps. Actually, I love all crisps. The stronger the flavour, the better.

Another vote for tayto cheese & onion. There is a certain time of the year when the flavour transcends sublimeness. I used to think that it coincided when new potatoes where available so maybe maybe not. Though there is the very odd occasion when the flavour is a bit off or so it seems to me. A bit too strong.
I have also taken a liking to their prawn cocktail and I have noticed that their packets have more in them compared with Walkers and also cheaper. So win win

Lush in a cheese sandwich

yabvvvvvu, cheese and onion is the best whereas salt and vinegar is the devil’s work and I shall only eat it if I’m desperate

GinisLife · 18/03/2020 21:02

I love c&o crisps but since having to have radiotherapy on my neck which has trashed my taste buds I struggle to eat them. It's a huge regret 😂. I'm now craving chicken crisps though. S&V are gross. Hurt your tongue.

MaeveTheRave1 · 18/03/2020 22:50

Tatyo cheese and onion + Brennan's white bread + Kerrygold + strong tea = ultimate last meal on death row

DioneTheDiabolist · 18/03/2020 23:54

I have all of those things in my kitchen right now.Grin

Koalablue · 19/03/2020 03:44

I love them. Added bonus is my kids hate them so I don't have to eat them in secret.

Imstillskanking · 19/03/2020 03:53

I thought cheese and onion was the nation's favourite flavour?

YABVU! I live in a foreign country now and if I visit home, all the DC want me to bring back is Walkers chees & onion and Skips

PawPawNoodle · 19/03/2020 04:17

Cheese and onion crisps are ones that I know I like, so will choose if faced with obscure flavours.

My true love is ready salted.

1forAll74 · 19/03/2020 04:48

I gave up eating crisps a couple of years ago, and before that,I only ate the plain ones.. It does my head in, if I ever see Linniker man,chomping away on his Walkers crap food junk food crisps.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 19/03/2020 06:46

I don’t just like cheese and onion crips

I LOVE them 💓

They make the best crisp sandwich and the best ones are Golden Wonder or Aldi

Salt and vinegar are the last ones left in this house

YukoandHiro · 19/03/2020 06:49

YABVVVVVU

THE BEST ONES

PantsCrisis · 19/03/2020 08:38

I had a five pack a day habit which I managed to kick by giving them up for lent in 2001. The experience is engrained on my memory forever.
I still love C & O but don't buy as they may as well be crack cocaine for me.

Oblomov20 · 19/03/2020 08:39

My favourite too.

IceCreamSunday87 · 19/03/2020 10:32

YABVU!!
Cheese and onion crisps are the best!!!

GREATAUNT1 · 19/03/2020 12:45

I just knew that this thread would be from a Salt & Vinegar lover 😷

ilovesooty · 19/03/2020 13:05

I don't like crisps at all. I seem to be unique among the people I know. I've always loathed them.

NymphadoraBonks · 19/03/2020 13:07

I hate the smell and the first two crisps I’m like “meh” and then I get the taste for them and could eat 4 bags.

Sceptre86 · 19/03/2020 13:45

McCoy's cheese and onion crisp are a staple for me. They require constant carrying of chewing gum or mints but are worth it.
